ISBN: 9780415080248 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The third upholds the view that there is a unique truth, but denies that any society can be firmly in possession of it.

ISBN: 9780415141475 / Angielski / Twarda / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
